What you will need
- Chicken: I used chicken breast for this although you could use boneless chicken thighs.
- Flour: I used all-purpose flour. You could use almond flour if keto. The flour helps make the chicken crispy.
- Olive oil: I used good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Butter: I used salted butter but you could use ghee or unsalted butter and salt yourself.
- Lemons: For best taste, use real lemons and not store bought lemon juice. I sliced the lemons and caramelized them on each side.
How to make Chicken Limone
- Rub chicken with olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, add flour. Dip the chicken in the oil mixture, then dredge the chicken on both sides.
- On a large pan on medium high, place olive oil and wait for it to shimmer. Add the chicken and sear the chicken until golden, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken.
- Reduce heat to medium and place the butter and the sliced lemon into the pan, until caramelized, about 1 minute on each side.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and now add the juice of the lemon juice and parsley. Let the liquid simmer for about 3 minutes, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon.
- Return the chicken back into the pot. Depending on the thickness of the chicken, simmer until the chicken is coked through, about another 6-12 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve the chicken with the lemon sliced on the top!
